Chapter 1: Being late.
"No Grandmother, just no! I will not wear a dress that is pale pink, lacy and most of all, very puffy!" Amethyst grimaced. There was no way she was going to shatter her reputation by wearing a dress that was so repulsive, not even a very girly young lady in waiting would even wear it. She has slightly tanned skin, beautiful shoulder blade length wavy blondish brown hair and stunning Jade-Green eyes except for when she was angry or sad. When she was angry her eyes would go very light grey and when she was melancholy like, they go a very dark grey blue.
"Oh but darling, of course you will go to the ball in this amazing dress, u will look beautiful in it will you not?" Adeline said, trying to get somewhere with her stubborn grand-daughter, but somehow she knew it was never going to happen.
"I think not." Amethyst replied, very annoyed "The only way you will get me in a gown is if it is not lady-like what so ever and the style is light and gypsy like with a dragon wrapped around the arms. Other then that, I will not wear a gown." Amethyst added matter of factually, not exactly being serious.
"Ok then my dear; I shall see what I can do." The lady in waiting replied, sounding defeated but also half satisfied. She was please that her grand-daughter was not so hard to deal with, unlike her daughter, who was awful when it came to gowns.
"Thank-you, grandmother however, I was not being serious really, I was only trying to get my point across, that's all." She smiled but had a look of guilt as well. She wasn't expecting her to actually go and have the dress arranged for her.
"No, it is quite alright dear, it is practically my job to do things such as this." Adeline smiled then added "At least you are not as stubborn as your mother." They both giggled at the comment then Amethyst broke the moment off by speaking.
"I best be off then, I have training with mother, see you later grandma."
"See you later dearest." She replied as she watched Amethyst walk off.
"Very much like her mother." The lady in waiting muttered to herself and headed back inside.
As Amethyst was heading towards the practice yard, she bumped into Elise, one of Pepper and Rake's kids.
"Hello sweetie, how are you today?" A very cheerful Elise asked.
"Hello Elise, I am doing very well thankyou, what about you?"
"Pretty flat out, I have to keep running back and forth to mother and father so I can give them both a hand with their chores, seeing as it is one of most busiest times of the year, they both need the help of my siblings and I, though I do not mind at all, I think it is only fair." She smiled.
"I agree, I have to help my father out more then mother because the king needs entertainment constantly while prince Cuthbert needs him to teach his children as well as looking after them while he helps Princess Lavinia with organising everything, so when it comes to the royal children, Tobias and I take turns in watching and teaching them. Half the time we both need one another's help because the children are such a handful to teach and entertain at once. I also help mother with some of her duties as well." Amethyst replied. Elise then became concerned.
"You have training with your mother now do you not?"
Amethyst gasped. "Yes I do! Mother is going to be cross with me, I am over an hour late!"
"I'm going to head back to the kitchens now, bye Ammy."
"Bye Elise." smiled Amethyst as she rushed off to the practise yard.
Once she finally reached the practise yard, she walked straight up to her mother, who looked very displeased with her daughter who was over an hour late.
"Amethyst D'ark, where have you been? I was starting to get awfully worried that I was just about to go and get your father to go out looking for you! What event has caused you to be so late?" Jane scolded.
"First of all, I was with grandmother, who was insisting that I wore the most wretched pink dress that I have ever seen, then on my way here I ran into Elise, and like we always do we started talking for a little bit, debating with grandmother was what made me terribly late, please believe me." Amethyst explained, also begging a tad bit as well.
"Well I guess when you put it that way, It was not so much your fault because trust me, I know when your grandmother has something to say, you are without a doubt, sure to be there for a while. I cannot talk because once I was talking to Pepper and I had no idea that sir Ivan was actually calling me, not your father mocking him again, so I kept talking until sir Ivan came down to the kitchens and scolded me for not answering him." Jane's face was starting to soften up towards Amethyst and she then let out a giggle as the memory of her husband came back of him mocking Sir Ivan. Jane eventually broke out of the memory and came back to the real world.
"Right, on with the training." She said, being serious.
"Ok then." Amethyst reluctantly agreed with her mother, then started training.
A/N Well what do you think of it?, was it good or bad? Please be honest with me but not to mean about it if it is bad. I had to add in what she looked like so if you don't like it, too bad I ain't removing it, please R&R.
